TrackAmplifier: common questions

What microcontroller does the TrackAmplifier use?

The TrackAmplifier is built around the PIC16F15345-I_GZ-MCU_MICROCHIP_PIC16_UQFN_20_4X4, from the PIC family.

How big is the TrackAmplifier PCB?

The TrackAmplifier measures 105 × 70 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the TrackAmplifier?

117 components, from 62 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the TrackAmplifier design files?

From the jeremysiebers/Siebwalde repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the TrackAmplifier design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with jeremysiebers. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the TrackAmplifier without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug PIC firmware against it before you order a PCB.
